Prices are up on gas, groceries, rent, utilities, health care, and just about everything else. Shit’s too expensive and workers’ wages aren’t keeping up. America’s unions worry about this 24/7. Our President of the United States should, too.

The future of nuclear energy is union built. NABTU and @Bechtel are partnering to expand and modernize apprenticeship training for the next generation of skilled union workers powering America’s nuclear future. Safe. Skilled. Union-built constructiondive.com/news/bechtel-n…

A strong domestic shipbuilding industry is crucial to our national security, and we applaud those lawmakers who are standing up for American shipbuilding.

When it comes to shipbuilding, China has been cheating left and right – and American jobs, businesses, and security are paying the price.  Proud to lead a group of Republicans and Democrats to call on President Trump to stand up for America when he sees President Xi this week.  reuters.com/world/us/us-se…

Mental health matters on every jobsite and beyond. This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we’re reminding our brothers and sisters in the trades: you don’t have to carry it alone. Strength is speaking up, checking in, and looking out for each other.

That's what solidarity is all about.

Any #IBEW member can be an organizer. Here's how: bit.ly/428P7BA
